Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Queen has nothing to do with this.

This was everyday British people and politicians exercising their right to free speech, because they found something a US presidential candidate said
to be abhorrent.

Perhaps you missed the news that Jimmy Carter did the same exact policy implemented on Iranians?

Kind of takes your hyperbole to new heights?

No it just takes your ignorance about the matter to new heights. Banning people from a nation that we have sanctions against is far different than
simply banning people because of their faith. If Trump were to start using the word Jew in place of the word Muslim people would be crying he's the
next Hitler.

Well, you see, Buster, here is the problem. The jihadists are intermingled into the muslim populations. If they DID belong to one specific country,
like Iran, then the problem would not be so complicated.

Just as they do in battle, they locate among schools, mosques, hospitals, and civilian residential areas. Excising them will inevitably affect the
innocent for the time it takes to solve the problem.

But, they hide among the civilized muslim populations from many countries. The solution is going to be complicated.

I'm pleased the government have dismissed the petition

The gov't has not dismissed the petition. If they decide to ban Trump, most likely there wouldn't be an announcement to the world, he would just not
be allowed to enter. We would probably hear about it from HIM, after he was denied entry.

Depends how many of your offended brothers and sisters did it for a laugh wasting government time on an non issue.
How many emailed their MP's I wonder, to #ing lazy to do that just fill an online government form for a laugh.
Yeah right on comrade

I'm chilled to be honest just struggling to express a mocking emotion through the medium of typed words
Trump will not be banned and I will mock you and the other 500,000 'digital activists' when he is not lol

I'm thinking now that since Mohammed is now the number one name for males in the UK, that silly petition was probably signed by mostly muslims
reacting to low information, misinformation, and bias. I can't imagine that anybody with any sense would sign it for real.

If the USG wants to forfeit their legitimacy by electing Trump, then go ahead but you cant being guns across our boarder to protect your leaders
(other than the unmarked E-250 with diplomatic plates and no windows that everyone knows is full of illegal US soldiers) from pies in their faces like
Trump will surely get if he comes here. I police MIGHT detain the pie throwers for the cameras and then shake their hands apon release.

Trump is a Jest. Americans than vote for him are racist 20th century ghosts. When Canadians says they love Americans, most wern't talking about
those Americans.

Well Charlie signed it 'for a laugh' so add similar vacuous reasons and it's a ridiculous farce of a petition.
*edit
The home secretary can make the decision now herself, needs no permission from parliament at all, she didn't.
The 'debate' is lip service to to digital activists lol, the carefully worded government statement makes that clear, but the outraged social media
people can't see it yet.

I signed it. I regard Trump as a bloviating moron who babbles hatred. And actually
Oliver is the
leading name for baby boys at the moment. You are very ill-informed, aren't you?
